"Imagine if a newspaper’s Web site didn’t look like a news Web site at all. Instead, when you entered the site, you faced a question: What do you want to do? (I’m picturing it almost like Facebook’s “What’s on Your Mind?”)" – Newspapers are gradually learning that "community" isn't geographic.

"The next time anyone in the employ of a newspaper company — or anyone blogging here on Nieman Journalism Lab, for that matter — throws up their hands in despair and cries, “I’ve run out of revenue ideas,” I suggest we all return to this list of ten entrepreneurs and idea-generators who do not yet qualify to drink legally — or even drive a car in some cases – who have launched new, growing businesses that are actually making money."

"And the award for the Most Bitterly Ironic Media Award goes to … the Fred Dressler Lifetime Achievement Award, to be bestowed upon Arianna Huffington by Syracuse University's S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications at the upcoming Mirror Awards luncheon in Manhattan." #

Congratulations, Arianna! #

Now please excuse me as I crawl under my desk and curl into the fetal position. #
